Proverbs reminds us that wealth isn’t just earned — it’s built through wisdom, discipline, and alignment with God’s principles. Wealth isn't luck or chance. It’s the result of ordered steps, wise decisions, and consistent character. Here are a few Proverbs-based wealth principles to anchor your journey today: 📌 1. Wealth Is a Byproduct of Diligence “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.” — Prov 10:4 Small, consistent actions compound. God blesses what you work, not what you wish for. 📌 2. Seek Wisdom Before Wealth “How much better to get wisdom than gold!” — Prov 16:16 Wisdom protects what wealth cannot. Wisdom sustains what wealth alone can’t hold. 📌 3. Plan Your Finances With Purpose “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” — Prov 21:5 Budgeting, saving, investing, stewarding — planning is spiritual. It’s how you honor God with what you have. 📌 4. Avoid Get-Rich-Quick Thinking “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle…” — Prov 13:11 Fast money brings fast loss. Faithfulness brings foundation. 📌 5. Keep Integrity at the Center “Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.” — Prov 16:8 Character *is* currency. When you walk in integrity, God can trust you with more. 📌 6. Honor God With What You Earn “Honor the Lord with your wealth…” — Prov 3:9 Putting God first brings protection, clarity, and provision. 💡 Reflection for Today: Which wealth principle from Proverbs do you need to apply this week — diligence, planning, integrity, or putting God first?

The provoking question today is :” where are you delaying diligent effort because the conditions seem unfavorable?” What harvest are you risking? As soon as I read that I think of branching out into commercial hvac consulting. I can tell you busy with important things but how does that help me. Is what I am doing today giving me and my family the best ROÍ? I always will have things to do but I need to take a step of faith and ask God to help me with the time and abilities to do it.

You chase wisdom — and wisdom brings money with her. 📌 3. Honor God With the First Portion “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops…” — Proverbs 3:9 Before wealth increases to you, obedience flows from you. God honors order. 📌 4. Avoid Get-Rich-Quick Traps “Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.” — Proverbs 13:11 Proverbs reminds us: shortcuts cause setbacks. Faithfulness compounds. 📌 5. Walk With Wise People “Walk with the wise and become wise.” — Proverbs 13:20 Your financial future is shaped by your financial fellowship. Choose wisely. 📌 6. Plan, Save, and Build Slowly “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” — Proverbs 21:5 Planning isn’t doubt — it’s stewardship. God blesses preparation and prudence. 📌 7.

I just wanted to share how blessed I feel to be a part of this group and the wisdom I have learned in Gods word and Sean’s teachings. Today I got an email from Ancel who is sponsoring my YouTube channel where I teach and share Outboard motor repairs and maintenance. Ancel makes a diagnostic tool and has sponsored my channel. The email from them was to ask if I would have any way to promote a new product they have that is a thermal imaging camera. Gods timing is amazing as I was able to let them know that I am in Atlanta speaking about energy loss in commercial buildings and this tool will help people see thoses losses and that I need the full description of the product and discuss how we can partner. Gods Favor for sure! Amen! Now I’m off to enjoy the day with my girlfriend!
